If that is truly the case, we are lost, as the old cliche says, "You can't fix stupid".
We have to try. And by that, I mean, we have to fix the GOP so that they don't nominate someone who doesn't represent us. And we have to fix the citizenry so that they understand what is best for the country and vote for who is best for the job and not skin color or blind party allegiance or who promises the biggest handout.
